Course Audit

Students may audit courses for the purposes of self-enrichment and academic exploration. Courses taken for audit earn zero credit and quality points. Courses are offered only on a space-available basis with the approvals of both the instructor of the course and the Office of Student Records. Students may not audit the clinical component of any nursing or health science courses.

An audit designation (AU) will appear on the transcript. An audit withdrawal designation (WA) will be recorded on the transcript if the instructor certifies that the student has not regularly attended classes.

Students may not change class registration status either from audit to credit or from credit to audit after the second week of the class. Students may not receive Credit by Examination (https://mercycollege.edu/academics/student-records/credit-by-examination) for audited courses. The fee for audited courses is $100 per credit hour.
